Master of Science in Criminal Justice and Criminology and Master of Public Administration

University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

Both departments collaboratively offer a program designed to provide students with theoretical and practical exposure to evolving professional practice in the field of criminal justice. The combination of public administration and criminal justice and criminology courses provides theoretical and practical exposure to evolving professional practice in the criminal justice field. Contemporary public officials are required to make complex choices and implement programs and policies within difficult financial, legal, political and organizational constraints. More than ever, it is important that administrators be able to work with a variety of people, both within and outside the public sector. Professional education thus encompasses fiscal control, quantitative analysis, organization management, decision analysis, and a working understanding of government institutions and legal procedures.
